The prevalence of the Staphylococcus aureus tst gene among community- and hospital-acquired strains and isolates from Wegener’s Granulomatosis patients

To allow rapid identification of toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1)-producing Staphylococcus aureus strains, a real-time PCR assay for the detection of the tst gene, which encodes TSST-1, was developed. The assay was applied to S. aureus isolates from patients with Wegener’s Granulomatosis (WG),...
